Electrical and Electronic Engineering

If you work in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and want to gain a recognised qualification that reflects your skills and experience, this NVQ Diploma could be the ideal choice. Designed for engineering professionals across a range of roles, the qualification provides a structured pathway that allows you to demonstrate workplace competence while supporting your ongoing professional development.

The qualification includes three mandatory units that build essential knowledge and skills relevant to the Electrical and Electronic Engineering sector. These core units provide a strong foundation before learners progress into specialist areas through a choice of optional units. To meet the qualification requirements, learners select additional units from one of 11 occupational pathways, allowing the programme to be tailored to individual job roles, responsibilities, and career aspirations.

By completing this NVQ Diploma, you will develop the practical competence, industry knowledge, and professional confidence needed to progress within the engineering sector. The flexible pathway structure ensures that the qualification remains relevant to your current role while supporting future career opportunities.

Who is this course for?

The NVQ is for those working in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic components, such as printed circuit boards, electric motors and inductor. Not just for those doing the assembling and testing, but those supervising.

How long do I get to complete this qualification?

You are allowed 12 months to complete from registration. Your progress can be monitored in OneFile as we will program your start and finish dates. If you do not complete within the given time, you can extend on a month by month basis.

Mandatory Units: (All 3 must be completed) – All Pathways

  • Complying with Statutory Regulations and Organisational Safety Requirements (A/601/5013)
  • Using and Interpreting Engineering Data and Documentation (Y/601/5102)
  • Working Efficiently and Effectively in Engineering (K/601/5055)

Pathways

We offer a range of pathways allowing learners to specialise in the area most relevant to their job role. Pathways exist because not all learners require the same skills. By selecting a pathway, learners can develop competence in their specific occupational area while still achieving a recognised qualification that reflects industry standards and employer requirements.
